Exceptional Palm Beach County school children are celebrated » TCPalm Mobile (User story from )
Once a year the Palm Beach County School Board, Department of Exceptional Student Education, has a picnic for all of its deaf and hard of hearing students. This event represents an opportunity for teachers, students, staff, and parents to promote awareness, celebrate achievements and enhance communication. The picnic allows Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, and High School students and parents to meet and support one another.
Annually this event is held at John Prince Park in Lake Worth, which is centrally located for students throughout Palm Beach County. This year the “Deaf and Hard of Hearing Picnic” was held on Friday, April 29 from 9 am until 1 pm. More than 250 students attended.
Very much in keeping with Kiwanis’ motto of “Young Children Priority One”, it was only natural to become involved in this worthy project. There are twelve Kiwanis clubs in the north end of Palm Beach County (Kiwanis Division #20) and nine clubs in the south end of the county (Kiwanis Division #21). All of the twenty one clubs contributed financially either through their Division, or individually, and/or in person, to help with the cooking, games, bounce house and the other activities.
Special thanks to the businesses who donated resources and food/water/ices/popcorn. Additionally the Law Firm of Gordon and Doner contributed financially for the second year in a row. They funded the “Bounce Houses” which wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Without assistance from Kiwanis and all of these businesses, this annual event would not have happened!
